Hi Re-Volt fan,
This is my 9th own track, thx for downloading and trying it!
Thanks
Thanks to the Acclaim-Team for the game and for the fine working ASE-Tools converter util to its creators. Thanks for the encouragement and for the tips and instructions to all the online players and track creators. Thx to sjampo for testing the track.
The Story
Sakura is a japanese word, it means "blossom of the cherry tree". The cherry blossom is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and takes a very prominent position in Japanese culture. There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the blooming trees.
Sakura is a Japanese beauty.
Maybe one could argue that this track has some “boring” parts, where not enough happens (the rather long straights). But those parts are important as well. There might be no slipstreaming in RVGL, but top-speed fights with excessive blocking will happen in time trial mode, and in normal mode with pick-ups, having some room to launch an attack is rather calming (compared to other tracks) as well. And I want to say, that this fits the Sakura garden theme well.
I think I found a little wall collision bug on the reverse variant. Right after the first climb up the stairs. Don’t go into the house then, but rather follow the house wall. Then touch the brown-coloured house wall. It will try and eat the car.
